Martial Arts Schools near Niantic

“How many of us have "always wanted to" ? Since I was a young boy I desired to study Karate, but something always got in the way. Living in downtown we are SO FORTUNATE to have Sensei Andy and the Dojo. I was very nervous to start as an almost 40 year old beginner. Sensei Andy offered me a private first session to familiarize myself with all things Karate and I recommend the same to any beginner. Goju Ryu is a beautiful martial art passed down from the Okinawans and from the research and understanding I continue to build, Chuck Merrimans Dojo here in Niantic is an outpost of that art!“

“Training on the mat with LoPriore Sensei is more than learning a martial art and how to defend oneself. The level of personal growth that I have endured over the past twelve years stretches out into many facets of my life. Personally and professionally my level of focus and self esteem are beyond what I could have cultivated with anyone anywhere else. Professional? Yes! Top notch training? Yes! Does he truly care about his students? Absolutely! Bushidokai Traditional Martial Arts is the real deal.“

“My granddaughters six months went by so fast. She has really gotten so much personal growth out of the classes.“
